Dropbox seeks to partner with Indian firms

San Francisco-based Dropbox Inc, the cloud storage firm, is reportedly looking to collaborate with Indian mobile service providers and Web companies. According to reports, while the firm doesn’t have any plans to set up offices in the country yet, it wants to reach the huge smartphone and Internet user base that India has.

According to the report, Dropbox is currently holding talks with many Indian companies and large corporations. Dropbox VP, Business Development, Sujay Jaswa said that the talks are currently at the very early stages.

The company is valued at around US$ 10 billion and has often been touted as the next Facebook or Twitter to come out from the Silicon Valley. India was recently found to be the fastest growing smartphone market in the world by research firm Gartner. This is the reason behind such companies taking an interest in the Indian market.
